"I found The Tree Trimmer doing some work at my neighbors. I walked over and asked if he could give me an estimate before he left. He immediately came over and looked at what I needed done and told me he could do it the same day. They did a great job. Did exactly what I needed. He made great suggestions. You could tell he cared about what he did. The cleanup was superb leaving my yard looking better than they found it. His crew was as hardworking and conscientious as I have seen in a while. They take pride in their work. I would definitely recommend them for tree service."

"Our HOA needed to replace a failed 60-foot long drainage pipe that ran across one our private roads leading into a cul de sac and also had to address a number of erosion issues that the HOA had been dealing with at the pipe entrance and exit for many years. The HOA solicited potential solutions and 4 bids for the job from local contractors. Full-time access for residents during the project and ensuring that all necessary materials were available in a timely manner was a huge consideration for the HOA - especially with winter approaching. HEMAX was selected because they provided a solid plan, assured material availability, a guaranteed project start date and submitted the most competitive quote. The project involved asphalt cutting, excavation and replacement of a 24-inch corrugated metal drainage pipe with a high density polyethylene pipe, installation and compaction of fill over the new pipe to specifications and the application of hot-patch asphalt to repair the road surface. The project also included: the creation of new culverts and catch basins, the establishment of a head wall at the new pipe entrance, repair of existing culverts, and providing additional fill and re-grading of both sides of the private road for safety and also to help ease future maintenance of the area. Afterward, all work was seeded, covered with erosion control matting and lined with rip rap. Throughout the whole project, the HEMAX team kept the HOA Board informed and did an outstanding job. The project started and completed on-time and was efficiently executed so that residents had full-time access to the area and were minimally affected. Each night, the work area was well cleaned and all equipment safely stowed. The HOA Board highly recommends HEMAX based on their cost and performance on this project and will definitely consider them for future work within the HOA."

"I give him a fair rating because he did pick up the phone and continue to engage. There is a bad pattern of contractors in this region ghosting you for better jobs. I have remodeled multiple properties and own rental units in the region so I am familiar with the process. I contacted him by phone and he shut me down pretty quick to just text him the specs of the job. I provided him very concise description of the work involved via text. He quoted me a price of $875 to set 46 blocks, labor only. I thought this was an extremely high price compared to the $150-600 quotes I had received for the same job. The reason I continued to engage Steve was because the other contractors had a longer lead time and time is money. After that he asked me to drive 45 minutes to a job he was at to sign a “contract” for the work. When I called him to set the meeting place he asked if I “brought my check book”. This set me off a bit. As a background and complete transparency, I am a degreed engineer that has been responsible for the bidding and construction of multi-million dollar projects. I recognize that this does not make me qualified to truly judge a small residential job like I was asking Steve to do but it does give me perspective. My issue with Steve beyond his incredibly high price was that he wanted almost 80% deposit on a labor only job with a large window to completion in his “contract”. He did say he hoped to finish much sooner than that, but any down payment on a labor only agreement should be at 25% or not at all. When I pushed back he tried to tell me it was “standard practice” which I can assure it is not. I was done at this point. He did back off this, but acted like he was doing me a favor. I then asked about the quantity of mortar I had purchased was sufficient (it was in the bed of my truck) and he told me it was way too much. I agree that it was more than needed (it’s $10 a bag, does it really matter?) but to fill the cores it was not too excessive. He told me that was not part of the deal and would cost $150-300 more, now a $300 job for $1,200. In his defense I did not spec the block fill, but for almost $900 I figured he would plate it in gold for me. After reviewing the “contract” I had to drive 45 minutes to see I decided it was best to talk away from a contractor like this. I understand trying to protect your self and your business, but this was excessive. As I was getting in my truck I hard Steve say something along the line of “I have time in this”. I am guessing he is referring to reading a text message, typing a bs contract and spending 20 minutes trying to collect a check. He never came to the site, I had to come to him, I know he doesn’t want to pay my hourly rate. I quoted “contract” several time in my comment. I deal with construction contracts every day and what Steve gave me was not a contract prepared by a Tennessee attorney. It would be easily defeated in court, I say this if you have been wronged by him. I will never deal with Steve again because of the way he acted. His work may be great, but dealing with bs is not worth it. Steve, reading your other review responses I assume you will leave a detailed response as to why I am uniformed and not knowledgeable about your process. I promise that I am both informed, knowledgeable, and ready to defend myself and my statements."

"Showed up late, but worked hard until well after dark. Did not get all leaves and debris out of the beds, but the edging and mulch was well- applied. I have also had them re-design and completely transform my back yard, and this work was done without compare. I LOVE my yard now. It was a mass of poison ivy and sasafrass trees- now it is an oasis. Thanks to Tim's designs, this was an amazing transformation (that was about $28,000). But worth it. <br />"

"<br /> Daniel stays busy so he can be hard to speak to on the phone.  But he works like a dog and he has a good eye for detail.  He catches what his crew misses and gets it done correctly.  He took on a much larger project than he'd ever done before and did a good job of cleaning and staining the logs for a 4,000 sq ft house and  cleaning the roof.  Hopefully, it will be a few years before I need to use professional steam cleaning services again but i will call Daniel first. <br /> <br /> I also found him to be a man of excellent character and extreme honesty . . . which unfortunately is too rare nowadays.  <br /> <br /> Finally, Daniel is a bit of a jack-of-all-trades so he can see problems that you may not even be aware of.  In my case, he pointed out how a disconnected gutter was dropping a hard flow of water on the logs and washing away the stain. <br />   <br />"

"We had obtained several quotes for replacing the roof on our garage. Chris's quote came in way below the other quotes and included several extras that the other contractors ignored. We are very pleased with the roof and look forward to CSN completing additional work on our home."

"Average, they required a lot of direction and it took them several visits to complete a small job. They performed what was asked of them; however, I should have requested a firm price bid for the work since they took longer than expected. <br />"

"Crew was very professional and respectful of my property and existing landscaping. Subs that poured the new concrete pad did an excellent job in framing the forms; fell short on the cleanup though. I found at least 6-8 large nails from the forms left in the dirt along the new pad and a styrofoam cup buried in my flower bed. Otherwise, great."

"They did a great work. They showed up on time. They were perfect."
